Coral PboiM 644S LEONTROTZKY IMPLICATED AS CONSPIRATOR (Continued from page 1 economic political affairs of the U. S. S. R. and the Arabian Nights code.? ' Leon Trotzky, the celebrated ex ile, has been accused by both the government and the defendants as the master of the plot, embracing not one but many attempts upon the life of Dictator Joseph Stalin. Previous evidence had brought out that the counter-revolutionaries used secret compartments of trunks. invisible ink and other subterfuges In order to exchange Information. Holzmann, a reluctant witness, told of a meeting with Trotzky in Copenhagen at. which he quoted the exile as saying: "The only way to remove Stalin is through terror." For a time during the examina tion of Holzmann, 54 years old, bald and perspiring, the courtroom took on the appearance of a big happy family. The Trotzky undercover man, with contradictory answers to the prose cutor's questions, drew frequent smiles and laughter from the spec tators, the prosecutor, the Judges, and even Holzmann himself. At one point Holzmann said: "Trotzky told me if Stalin was destroyed we would return to power." Witnesses corroborated charges that there were at least three def inite attempts to kill Stalin. The latest, witnesses asserted, was plan ned as a spectacular assassination in Moscow's red square during the May day demonstrations. Bombs labeled "diploma" were to be delivered to Stalin as he stood atop the tomb of Nikolai Lenin, it was testlfied.- Denials by Trotzky from his Nor .way haven that he participated In the asserted plot to overthrow the government brought smiles from Soviet officials who remarked: "Trotzky always denies everything. How Is he to refute the weight of this evidence?" While the 16 prisoners "occupied a box enclosed by a low wooden railing, with stalwart red guards standing by, it was plain that the absent Trotzky actually was the man on trial.

Aug. 31 iP) Italy accepted officially today the neutrality ac cord proposed by France in the Spanish civil war. Premier Mussolini earlier In the day had sought through his envoys the reaction of foreign powers to abandonment of the neutrality ne gotiations. That move.

Mercer From Pag 1 of numerous sessions Colonel Mercer, though he had served as a distinguished soldier in his youth, did not win his title by military service. It was conferred upon him by several governors on whose staffs he served. His life was adventurous and ro mantic. His attainment were ver satile. He had a fluent command of words and a beauty of expression that might have ranked him as a poet. Some of his prayers as chap lain of the senate were ordered printed and copies were saved by the members. In his adventurous life Col. Mer cer, as a member of the federal se cret service, Is given credit for hav ing rounded up single-handed the notorious Louisiana lottery gang. He had Intimately known Lincoln. McKlnley and Theodore Roosevelt. Colonel Mercer was born In Green Castle. Ind.. October 30, 1846. His father was a Methodist circuit rid er. Naturally the son was Intended for the ministry. At 15 years he was within a few weeks of gradu ation from Asbury university, later called DePau. and ordination to the ministry when hi father sent him to Washington to be under the guardianship of an uncle, fearing that at home the lad might slip away to Join the army. It was through connection with the uncle that young Mercer had an experience that he counted one of the most wonderful of his life. The uncle was an aide-de-camp on Lin coln's staff. On the night of July 21, 1661, a group of statesmen, sol diers and other dignitaries were gathered In Lincoln's rooms at the White House. The president, worn with worry, reclined on a lounge as he tried to shape his war policy, .for word had come that things were go ing bad with the union army. Many years later Colonel Mercer embod ied the experiences of that night In a Lincoln day address before the Oregon legislature, which he called "The Man on the Lounge." Then later the boy rode In the same railway coach with Lincoln to Gettysburg and stood near him when he delivered the famous Get tysburg address. He enlisted In the union army at 16 and was In the service two years, and was with General Sherman on the famous march to the sea. His contingent In the war was the Third Iowa cavalry. For 11 years after the war Col onel Mercer was in the secret ser vice. His rounding up of the Louis iana Lottery ring and other accom plishments made his services in de mand and at one time he was loan ed to the Canadian government. When he retired from federal work he moved to Corning, la.. where a daughter was born, and later to Montanapcoming to Oregon in 1906. Besides his work as sergeant-at- arms and chaplain of the senate he busied himself with legislative mat ters. He is credited, by some at least, with being the author of the Oregon election law and having fathered the condensed record method of senate and house. He Is said to have condensed the detailed proceedings of the legislatures from the time that Oregon was admitted to statehood to the date of adop tion of the condensed record system. Colonel Mercer's first wife died some years ago In Eugene. He was married again after moving to Sa lem. He was Identified with the vari ous orders of the Masonic lodge and also was active In the affairs of the Eugene Post. O. A. R. He came to Salem from Lane county. He Is survived by one daughter, Miss Wllma Grace Mercer of Eu gene. Funeral services will be held Mon day. August 24, at 10 a. m., from Clough-Barrick chapel, here. In terment In Rose City cemetery, Portland. EUGENE PROJECTS OF PWA WITHDRAWN Washington.

McCann, 50 and unmarried, was the first to be brought to the sur face by the rescue crews. The crowd set up a wild cheering as he emerg ed from the narrow shaft and was rushed to an ambulance. The car sped toward a Moberly hospital. three miles distant. Sexton, with Stoner part owner of the mine, was in a serious condi tion, but Dr. Maddox did not elab orate on his statement. "This Is one of the saddest things I ever went through," said Coroner Maddox. "My son, a doctor, went down Into the mine with me. We found the men in a room. One man, McCann, came out in perfect shape. He tell us one of the men died two hours after they were hemmed in. "Monoxide gas is believed to have caused his death." Anxiety at the mine, packed tight with vigilant relatives and curious spectators who had churned the soil to dust in their three-day vigil, reached fever peak early this after noon when Dr. Maddox and his son. Dr. John Maddox, went down the shaft. It had been understood previously that the younger doctor would en ter the shaft only In the event some of the entombed men were found Of VJj Mm. r.

There' only one chance In a thousand the men are still alive," Arnold Orlffith, state inspector of mines, had said earlier today a weary rescue crew hacked cau tiously at the few remaining feet of debris which imprisoned the men in the depths of the Sexton coal mine near here. From a three-quarter level, Grif fith directed the rescue attempt. With the crew at the bottom was Vic Crigler giving the signal to Charlea Hartlg at the surface. "O. K., hoist away," came Crig ler voice from the black depths, when the tub was filled. " "YouYe taking a long time down there." Hartlg answered, "Every thing all right?" , "It takes a long time," Crigler re plied, "the men can't work too fast." , "How's the air?" "It lan't any too good, but we're .getting by. I'm going to send two men up." "What's the matter?" asked Har tlg. his voice betraying his anxiety. "We've got to have some older men down here. I want to be sure no one loses his head.
